I was looking through my images for inspiration for a job I am starting and stumbled upon this home that Steve completed a few years ago. Although I have shared some of the images of the bathroom and kitchen, I have never given you a tour of the entire home. I thought starting a tour of this home would be fun way to participate in Julia's Hooked on Fridays party by showing you why I am hooked on shingle style homes.
Steve always imagined that little glass tower above the garage would be used as an artist's studio. I love rooms that have windows on three sides.
Roll up garage doors look like carriage house doors.
A black paneled front door with sidelights are traditional details for this style home. Let's go inside....
The door looks just as pretty in white on the inside. Nickel door hardware was purchased from Rejuvenation hardware.
You can see all the way to the backyard from the entryway. Madagascar grass cloth wallpaper is used on the walls of the entryway. All of the trim is painted white. All of the paint is from Benjamin Moore's Historical color line. The floors are walnut.
This image shows the full effect of the two story entry space. The lantern is from Circa lighting.
This beautiful archway underneath the stairway leads to a small sitting room.
The house was decorated by a staging company. I think they did a lovely job.
The chandelier is from Circa lighting.
You can enter the Alder paneled library from the sitting room or the living room.
The large comfortable family room has a beautiful view of the back yard. Antique wood barn beams were used on the ceiling.
I am off to a seminar for the weekend, but I promise to continue the tour at the beginning of the week.
Also, for those of you who are e-mail subscribers, I apologize that one of my old posts was sent to you twice this week. I am not quite sure why! I have now deleted that post. Hopefully that will take care of the situation.
Have a wonderful weekend!
